SORT  OF  A  PREFACE 

The  Elizabethans  had  a  word  "virtu"  which  expressed  for  them  the  full 
ness  of  living.  To  be  called  this,  men  like  Sir  Philip  Sidney  and  Fulke 
Greville,  maturing  young,  lived  full  lives  in  all  the  ways  men  aspire.  They 
were  alike  great  warriors,  great  statesmen,  great  poets,  great  gentlemen. 
Such  a  man  of  "virtu"  has  lived  in  our  own  age.  Theodore  Roosevelt  had  all 
the  attributes  which  the  word  connotes.  It  is  one  of  the  sides  of  this  many- 
sided  man  which  we  try  to  show  here  :  Roosevelt,  lover  of  books. 

Roosevelt  not  only  loved  good  books  everywhere,  but  he  was  also  an 
inspiration  and  a  generous  critic  of  authors.  In  answer  to  a  note  accom 
panying  the  gift  of  a  copy  of  "Hillsboro  in  the  WTar,"  by  Riohard  D;  Ware, 
Roosevelt  writes : 

"My  dear  Mr.  Ware : 

That's   mighty   nice    of   you.     I    look    forward    to    receiving   the 
book.     You  are  more  than  kind. 

Faithfully  yours, 

THEODORE  ROOSEVELT. 

P.  S.— The  book  has  come.     Three  cheers!     I  loved  it.     'At  the 
Store,'  'The  Phrasemakers'— I  like  them  all !" 

That  is  the  kind  of  thing  he  was  always  doing.  We  have  not  attempted 
a  complete  bibliography  of  the  works  of  Theodore  Roosevelt,  but  have  in 
cluded  only  the  books  in  the  Syracuse  Public  Library  that  he  wrote.  While 
it  has  been  our  aim  to  list  all  the  books  and  authors  Roosevelt  mentioned  in 
these  books  and  to  chQGS\fo  notations  expressing  his  opinion,  it  may  be  that  we 
have  made  omissions  and  chosen  ui. wisely.  If  this  is  so,  still  we  shall  not 
have  failed  to  give/JcC  Otlrers.a..  sr.iall  view-of  Theodore  Roosevelt  as  a  book- 
lover,  that  they  may  take  tlfe'same  'deliglif  in  him  that  we  have  felt,  that  they 
may  see  him  a  wide  reader  who  knew  the  "unalloyed  delight  to  take  up  some 
really  good,  some  really  enthralling  book  and  lose  all  memory  of  everything 
grimy,  and  of  the  baseness  that  must  be  parried  or  conquered".

"I  recommend  a  careful  reading  of  'Mar

to  the  men  who,  instead  of  fighting  hard  to 
do  away  with  abuses  .  .  .  insist  that 
all  our  people  .  .  .  are  at  a  lower  ebb 
than  ever  before."

our  own  West  in  the  pioneer  days  ap

the  pioneer  spirit,  let  them  read  'Martin 
Chuzzlewit.'  "

the  advice  was  sound  then  (at  the  time 
when  certain  of  my  own  forebears  who 
were  German  or  'high  Dutch'  were  helping 
found  Germantown),  and  it  is  even  sounder

THE  "PIGSKIN  LIBRARY" 

This  is  the  original  list,  from  African  Game  Trails,  p.  569-70: 
"There  was  one  other  bit  of  impedimenta,  less  usual  for  African  travel, 
but  perhaps  almost  as  essential  for  real  enjoyment  even  on  a  hunting  trip,  if 
it  is  to  be  of  any  length.     This  was  the  'Pigskin  Library,'  so  called  because 
most  of  the  books  were  bound  in  pigskin.     .     .     . 

"It  represents  in  part  Kcnnlt's  taste,  in  part  mine;  and,  I  need  hardly  say, 
it  also  represents  in  no  zcay  all  the  books  we  most  care  for,  but  merely  those 
which,  for  one  reason  or  another,  we  thought  we  should  like  to  take  on  this 
particular  trip.  .  .  . 

"They  were  for  use.  not  ornament.  I  almost  always  had  some  volume 
with  me.  either  in  my  saddle  pocket  or  in  the  cartridge-bag  which  one  of  my 
gun-bearers  carried  to  hold  odds  and  ends.  Often  my  reading  ivould  be  done 
while  resting  under  a  tree  at  noon,  perhaps  beside  the  carcass  of  a  beast  I 
had  killed,  or  else  while  ti'aiting  for  camp  to  be  pitched.''
